K9 Misfits - Edmonton

Great atmosphere and customer service! Plus who does love dogs!?

Great class and very knowledgeable coach (Kirsty). We learned a lot and got lots of great tips and tricks. I’d highly recommend K9 Misfits to anyone.

Had my puppy in hear when he was young! Can't speak highly enough of the work they help you do. The dont just teach your dog they help you learn how to understand and teach. We constantly get compliments on how well behaved our boy is. Currently looking into more classes for us. I can not reccomend k9 enough especially their use of force free methods alone is great!

If anyone has questions about the Arya reviews (Cane Corso), please pm me. As many of you know, I work in the science of dog behaviour and training. I will not respond to bullying tactics based on this couple's version of the sorted details of purchasing this sweet, very scared dog (bite history), from the owner. I also will protect the privacy of the past owner.

K9 misfits is one of the top training groups we recommend to our adopters. Like us they are part of the force free alliance . They are highly educated and have huge , kind hearts . They are supportive of rescue and work with us to help our foster dogs so that they can become more adoptable . We highly recommend them !

I worked with Bilinda repeatedly during my time as the Training & Behaviour Coordinator with Alberta Bulldog Rescue. She was always easy to work with and incredibly knowledgable and reliable. I could always trust that she would do what was best for the dog and would never put it in a dangerous situation. I would 100% recommend Bilinda again to anyone. Any bulldog she worked with was a lucky dog.

Bilinda answered my voicemail same day and was extremely helpful in helping me decide what to do with my great Pyrenees/Akita mix puppy who is very high energy. My partner and I took him to his first puppy start class, and it was very informative. I've already noticed a difference in our pup, especially after doing our homework. I would highly recommend this place over big box stores that offer puppy training! Clearly, the owners care about the quality of training they are providing and not just making money.

My husband and I lost all of our senior pets this year. We have two kittens at home and were looking to bring another dog into our family as they are our babies and bring us so much joy. I contacted the owner thru a website regarding her dog that was being boarded at K9 Misfits while the owner had been away on vacation. We agreed to meet up with the owner at K9 Misfits to meet the dog we were interested in, and see if she would be a good fit. I brought one of my cats in a kennel to see how the dog would react to a cat since she had never been exposed to them and we don't want to bring a dog home only to find out she wouldn't like our cats. Bilinda didn't have cats around to test this either, so we decided to bring our cat Egypt, she's pretty laid back and wouldn't provoke the dog in anyway, it was more of introducing them in a secured safe environment to see how the dog would react. Bilinda shot this idea down as soon as we got there and insisted the dog would not be good with cats. I mentioned camping, she insisted the dog wouldn't be good with camping either. Come to think of it, she made the dog sound so untrainable and unmanageable that nobody would want the dog. She asked us in an arrogant way if we knew who she was. We don't and quite frankly really didn't care. We were there to meet the owner of the dog and the dog. I asked to hold the leash and walk the dog around, that got shot down. Literally trying to bond with this dog, meet her and see if she would fit into our lives was impossible. Bilinda was controlling and quite frankly ignorant, arrogant and high on herself. If the dog was so unmanagable and she had the dog for THREE weeks, yet the dog hadn't made any progress...ok..doesn't sound right to me. My husband and I decided because of Bilinda being impossible to deal with, we told the owner of the dog (Who is absolutely amazing and very caring) that this dog wouldn't be good for us. We went home with no dog and disappointment in Bilinda for how she spoke down to us and completely misinformed us about the dog. 2 weeks later, completely by fluke the owner of the dog messaged me by accident saying she was still available. I called her and I told her I would NOT go back to K9 Misfits to view the dog with Bilinda around. Her energy was terrible and I could imagine the dog had picked that up and that's why she seemed so agitated. The owner agreed to bring the dog to my house so I could introduce the cats as I wanted to. Fast foward 2 months later, the dog is not only great with our kittens, they sleep and play together, but she loves camping and the outdoors. She loves playing dress up and is the sweetest girl imaginable, unlike the image Bilinda pegged her to be. She barks at strangers as ANY dog does. We almost walked away from our dog because of Bilinda. I would NEVER take my dog there, nor have her train my dog. It still bugs me months later. Our dog is not at all what BIlinda initially tried to control her to be. Still disappointed but If I have to prove the Bilinda's of the world wrong and knock her off her pedestal then so be it. Animals read our energy, if you are a pillar of peace, they follow. Our family is whole again. This dog brightened our world and our kittens love having her. I hope Bilinda learns to be a little more humble.
